Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku


"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Carpe Diem #195, The Hermit (IX) Tarot


~ 1 ~

looking like gandalf
does the hermit in his cave
search for the balrog


~ 2 ~

search for the balrog
just in solitude can you
conquer your demons


~ 3 ~

conquer your demons
when the light of your knowledge
leads to true wisdom


~ 4 ~

Does he spout wisdom
or is he just an old fool
living in a cave


~ 5 ~

goose flies with the flock
moose wanders into the woods
tries to find himself


~ 6 ~

spider lives alone
instead of gaining wisdom
she still just eats bugs

  2. Your third haiku is how it is for me. Very insightful. Love moose and spider today ♥

  3. I agree that No 3 is most wise.
    Old fools need to retreat to their caves to recharge their wisdom now and again methinks ;)

  4. I can't help but wonder if Moose will succeed or fail miserably...

  7. There is often a thin line between the wise hermit and the old fool and probably on any given day the hermit can cross back and forth many time!! :)Hermit
